I have post this up a few times and been majorly flame for it, so why am i posting again becuase i want to get people comments on the idea
Now the idea is basicly putting an rb26 head onto an rb25 block. Now i know it can be done and i also belived that is a farily common job and it isnt a hard one (this info is coming from a mag i read i belived it was zoom or something similar)
It seems that a r32 gtr in perth is running an rb25 block with 26head. Now i guess the pros to this sore of job would be the cams, turbos (2 ), gtr plenum (6 throller forward facing) and just the overall advance in the head compare to the 25.
now i know not alot so lets work this out price wise
Source from jap r33 rb26dett head (with fuel rail, plenum etc etc) without turbos $1500 (average kms 70,000 to 80,000)
(this price was given to me by a local shop which can source the part)
now then i would need the turbos (and everything else that would go with it dumps etc) which would add up to $.... (no idea)
Now in the mag they said it was pretty much a direct swap and talking to SK in the past he said that if you "wish" you could tap the bolts as they are 1mm larger but it wasnt needed.
now my question is would you need to some machine work to the head and the block before u put it together. also if it is a direct swap ti would be as simple as removing only head + turbos, dump, ic and then install the rb26 head + turbos + fmic piping etc etc. Which sounds like a job that could be done in a backyard over time.
Now once the head is on, im guessing that a ecu would need to be address. as im guessing there are senors etc in the head which would be different from the 25 to the 26 so possable adding aftermarket ecu (pfc) or moding a gtr ecu to suit an gts-t (i belived this can be job and a workshop in perth did it)
Now as the topic states this is an info thread; i dont want it to become full of flames and have it closes or delete. so could people plz just add there 2cents if they know anything about doing such thing
(and for all the perth users that know me and i ulimatly be the ones flaming like the last threads, plz i do not wish to do such things to my skyline, im just mking a thread to get info and share that info with other skyline users, so if u have nothing nice or anything related to the topic plz do not post)
Thankyou Michael
